The light green, translucent nuggets of prehnite are approx. 10mm long, approx. 5mm thick and largely without the inclusions of black Hornblende that are otherwise frequently found in prehnite.
With a total length of approx. 40cm, the prehnite strand is well suited for threading on a necklace or two bracelets, for example.
Increasing acceptance - of oneself and others - is the central application of prehnite in gemstone healing. Even unpleasant truths can be accepted more easily with the help of the gemstone.
The mineral prehnite was named after Colonel Hendrik von Prehn (1733 - 1785); spellings such as phrenite, prenhite, prenith or phrenite are therefore incorrect. Von Prehn brought back samples from the Cape of Good Hope in 1783 and had them examined by the mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner. Werner described the material and named it prehnite after von Prehn. The stone is the first mineral to be named after a person.
Trade names for Prehnt are cape chrysolite and cape emerald, earlier common names are aedelite, chiltonite, coupholite and edelite.
